Work for the Spirit! 

(Is 28:21; Rm 8:5-6) 



God does His work(Is 28:21). 

For Himself He works(Ge 22:8) and 

He surely accomplishes His work. 



Whether a student, a business man, a laborer, an artist, a solider, a politician etc. 

Everyone knows what is his work, while 

Christians know that their work is 

The work of God, the work of the Lord, the work of the church, the work of the Spirit. 



Faith is having the work of my soul and 

The life of this faith is prioritizing the work of the spirit and surely completing it. 



After he sinned, 

Adam was banished from the Garden and had to toil - 

Its outcome in meaninglessness(Ge 2:17, Ge 3:4-6, Ge 3:16-9). 



Noah, however, built an ark and he and his family were saved(He 11:7) 

According to the word which said that 

God would comfort him in labor(Ge 5:29). 



Since Abraham did not withhold his only son but 

Gave him as a burnt offering(Ge 22:12), 

God let him give instead the ram which He Himself provided(Ge 22:8, Ge 22:13). 



Because God worked with Moses the Israelites left Egypt(Ge 4:5), and 

Through His great works, they began to fear God and put their trust in Moses(Ex 14:31). 



Subsequently, God made them 

A kingdom of holy people and a holy nation(Ex 19:6) 

To do the work of God by building the sanctuary and serving Him there: 

Moses built the Tabernacle in the desert and 

Solomon the Temple of Jerusalem(Ex 40:33), 

While Zerubbabel, Nehemiah etc risked their lives to rebuild the destroyed Temple, and 

The sons of Levi, the priest served in the work of the Tent of Meeting(Nu 4:3). 



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days(Jn 2:19-20), because 

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body 

He would do a new work(Is 43:19) for 

He is the Son of God in whom was the Father doing His work(Jn 5:17, Jn 14:10). 

As such, His food was to fulfill the Father's work(Jn 4:34, Jn 6:26-29). 



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished(Jn 19:30), declaring that He: 

1. Worked according to the command of the One who sent Him and submitted His soul to the Father(Jn 10:18); 

2. Judged the devil who attempted to ascend the throne without work(Is 14:13; 1Jn 3:8); and 

3. Sprinkled His blood and redeemed the sins of all souls, and began a new work(Lev 17:11; Is 28:21; 1Pe 2:24). 

He rose and sat at the right hand of God where He still works as 

The eternal high priest who serves the Father(He 9:24), and 

To this day intercedes for the souls born-again in His blood(Rm 8:34), 

Speaking in their defense(1Jn 2:1). 



The Holy Spirit comes to the souls made new creation by His blood and works with them. 

He lets them stop doing the meaningless work of the flesh(Gal 5:19-21) and 

Do the work of the Spirit(Rm 8:5-6). 



God's fellow worker(2Co 6:1; Col 1:24) has 

He who began a good work working with him until the end(Mk 16:20; Php 1:6). 

Therefore, he does not worry what to eat or what to do(Mt 6:31, Mt 6:33). 

Instead, he puts every effort to work for 

The name Y'shua, the gospel, the truth, His kingdom 

According to his measure edifying His body the church(Eph 4:16), and 

To look after the souls committed to him until the end(Jn 6:39; Jas 2:22), as 

He longs for the last day when 

According to what is recorded in the book of life(Ne3; 2Co 5:10; Rev 20:12) 

He would be comforted with the authority to rule over all nations(Rev 2:26). 



O Lord, 

Though history may forget us 

Let all our works, be they small, be recorded and 

Let us be rewarded with life and peace(Rm 8:6)! 

Regardless of the barrier 

Let none of us abandon the work and leave. 

Let us all complete it! Amen.
